Surf's Up: The Art and Making of a True Story
Surf's Up , the latest CG-animated feature film from Sony Pictures Animation, is based on the "true story" of up-and-coming surfer Cody Maverick. The film follows Cody as he enters his first professional surf competition. Inspired by the legendary wave rider Big Z, Cody leaves his family and hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf Contest. Cody believes that fame and fortune will bring him the admiration and respect he craves, but when he meets a washed-up old surfer named Geek, Cody begins to understand that the greatest champion isn't always the one who comes in first.

A must-have for any animation lover! It has loads of sketches, film stills and artwork from the film. They also have a lot of 'extras' (post cards, pull outs, etc.) that I personally don't feel I need, but they don't detract from the book. Mine also included a 'making waves' DVD about the animations of the water. It's a beautiful book full of production art and stories about the making of the film, I highly recommend it.
